Secure GPT access
the right way

What does “secure GPT access” mean?

Secure GPT access means controlling who can use a GPT, how often it can be used, and under what conditions. It also means preventing unauthorized sharing, scraping, or abuse of your GPT prompts and responses.

Native ChatGPT GPTs are easy to share and impossible to enforce limits on once a link is exposed. This makes them unsuitable for paid products, internal tools, or controlled deployments.

Why ChatGPT alone can’t lock GPTs

While ChatGPT allows you to create custom GPTs, it does not provide:

• User authentication or access control
• Per-user or per-plan usage limits
• Billing or subscription enforcement
• Protection against link sharing
• Reliable usage analytics

Once a GPT link is shared, it can be reused freely. There is no built-in way to revoke or restrict access.

Common workarounds (and why they fail)

• Prompt secrecy: Prompts can still be extracted.
• Private instructions: No enforcement layer.
• Rolling your own proxy: Complex and costly.

These approaches rely on trust rather than enforcement.

How LockedGPT secures GPT access

LockedGPT is a platform designed specifically to secure, control, and monetize access to custom GPTs.

Instead of exposing a GPT directly, LockedGPT places it behind a secure API layer with real enforcement:

• Authenticated users only
• Response-based usage limits
• Subscription and add-on billing
• Revocable access
• Usage and activity tracking

Who should use LockedGPT?

• Creators selling GPT-powered tools
• Businesses deploying internal GPTs
• Consultants offering AI services
• Developers embedding GPTs into apps or sites

If your GPT matters enough to protect, it should not rely on a shareable link.
